When Surrender Becomes Strength with May Lundy

from Why We Believe · host Nathan Gwilliam

In this episode, May Lundy shares her journey from childhood faith to adult conviction. Born in Mexico to educator parents, May describes how her grandmother's swift conversion set the spiritual foundation for generations to follow. Her father, a stake president, instilled the vital importance of intentional faith—gathering the family to vote on making Christ the center of their lives. May details her decade-long sprint through dual college degrees across two countries, leading to her eventual physical and emotional collapse while working at Deseret Digital Media. The turning point came during a desperate prayer on her living room floor, when three simple words changed her approach to discipleship. May discusses the misconception that grace only arrives at the finish line, instead discovering that Christ walks beside us through every step of our trials. Her insights on finding joy within hardship, not just beyond it, offer a fresh perspective on living with intention. May also shares wisdom gleaned from working with Elder Clark Gilbert and practical approaches to creating a home centered on Christ. This conversation invites listeners to reconsider what it truly means to walk hand-in-hand with the Savior in both struggle and success.
